Halloween 'Pear' of ghosts

This 'pear' of ghosts are really spooky and will go down a treat at a kids' Halloween party. You'll be glad you made the effort when you see the look on their faces...

Prep time: About 30 mins
Makes: 2 ghosts

What you need:

2 ripe pears, peeled
300ml (1/2pt) apple juice
1 cinnamon stick
A pinch of dried nutmeg
2 frozen redcurrants, dried cranberries or dried sultanas (for ghost eyes)
Sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds or pine nuts (for ghost teeth)
Anchor iScream
Summer fruit juice or similar red fruit juice (for blood!)

What you do:

Place the peeled pears into a saucepan with the apple juice, cinnamon stick and nutmeg.
Simmer gently for 20 mins until pears soften slightly.
Remove from juice and allow to cool - slice a small slither off the bottom of the pears so that they stand upright.
Continue to reduce the juice for a further 10 mins - serve as a tasty syrup with the pears.
Carefully make small holes in the pears for the eyes and place into them the redcurrants / cranberries / sultanas.
Use the seeds as teeth and carefully push into the pear in a circular shape.
Place on a plate, squirt liberally with Anchor iScream and spoon into the ghost's mouths some of the red juice to create a spooky effect !!!!!! OOOOOOOh.
